Re: “Marquis.” Apologies. I thought as the living descendant, the title would have devolved upon you, even should the French government not recognize it. It was an honest mistake, no need to bite my head off. What would you prefer? Your Highness?

♛Alright, accepted. It was unintentional on your part, but when you invoke him, well… it’s still prodding at sensitive scar tissue. I had a complicated relationship with that man. And anyway, he was stripped of that title during the French Revolution. Neither he nor I ever told Louis to address him that way.

What do I prefer? The title I’ve earned started out as something Marius had to use in order not to beat me to a pulp, then it was gentle derision, and has gradually become a job title *sigh* People seem to expect me to be equal parts “Brat” and “Prince” at this point. 

Monsieur is sufficient if you address me by title.
